Childe is a tribute to the artists, musicians, surfers, and activists who shape our vision. Born from Australian roots, envisaged Portugal, Childe is modernistic eco eyewear for the future—made to last, made to stand out, and made with purpose.

We design everything in Byron Bay, Australia and partner with small, specialist manufacturers globally who share our values: craftsmanship, eco - sensitivity, and quality without compromise.

From frame to lens to packaging, we carefully select the most advanced plant-based and bio-sourced materials available today.

Our materials:

Premium Bio-Acetate

Made from wood pulp and cotton - petroleum-free, biodegradable, and built for bold handmade frames with attitude.

Grilamid BTR XE 4010

A 61% renewable castor-oil petroleum used in our Childe WiLDe collection. Ultra-Lightweight. Flexible. Built to move with you.

Plant-Based Bio Lenses

Made from castor oil (not petroleum). Scratch-resistant, optically crisp, and offer full-spectrum UV protection with polarised options.

Eco Packaging

Recycled, recyclable and minimal-impact—because every part of the experience should tread lighter.

We work with boutique optical manufacturers around the world who share our dedication to small-batch production, sustainability, and detail-driven design.

Each of our partners offer:

• Hands-on artisanship
• Small-batch production
• In-house quality control
